Saw some screenshots of the accessories page for phone, but no obvious modified battery cover for that extended battery. Maybe it's just not shown, but was a worry for me previously with the possibly battery guzzling issues of the phone. Any hard info yet on how the extended battery fits in?

If you read the copy in the screenshot of the desktop multimedia dock it states "Fits with extended battery"

That would lead me to believe it will be like any other phone with an large extended life battery... you will need a different phone back and will not work with standard cases.

Just my thoughts though.

Seidio makes a thin extended battery that works in the standard compartment, however its only 200ma larger than stock.

Phone, car dock and x battery, out the door for 275... : )
The car dock is a huge step forward from the Inc. car dock.
Battery is still in the package. No experience with it yet.
Car dock AND ext battery? Hopefully you take it out of the package soon cause I would love to know if the dock and ext battery work together..

$37 for the 2750 battery with corp discount, however I have had great success with $10 2600 extended batteries from ebay with my Incredible. One of them lasts just as long as my official HTC 2600 battery. Something to keep in mind.

Had to order the ext batt at the store for delivery to my house, but he said then that there was a new back, and about double the life.

If you think about it, because the back door is only the top 2/3 of the phone, the TBolt should still fit in a "dock" with the fat battery because the bottom 1/3 of the phone doesn't get thicker.
With the USB connector not being on the bottom, is it really a "dock" or just a holder (i.e. plugging it into the dock doesn't plug in the cable at the same time)?

It doesnt fit in the car dock with the fat battery on.
prolly wont fit any other dock with anything other than the stock battery.

I'm on my second day with the Thunderbolt and his morning I decided to put in the extended battery from VZW. So far it really handles well when it comes to lasting the work day. I need to not allow the battery to drain completely to zero.

Only down is how hefty it makes the phone (I knew it would) and the added bulk is really adding the top light grey layer on top of the back (I've seen more bulky batteries in the past, only with it could of been a cover that takes up the entire back and not make a hump)
